After a number of tests at resistance at $0.335, the price has started forming lower highs, and each daily candle has been reflecting an increasing possibility of the next significant move being bearish.

While the week started with candles recording increases and testing $0.335, the more recent tests have been weaker.

Yesterday’s candle was a Doji which is a candle that forms when the open and the close are around the same point.

This shows indecision in the market and reflected weakness in price pushing up to test $0.335 yesterday.

Today’s candle is recording a loss and trading further away from the $0.335 level.

Price is currently trading just above $0.32 but looks more likely to continue downward from here.
